    How does this rum taste?

    RumX members love the clear yet balanced Armagnac and Port cask influence: fresh apple and pear on the nose, with spices, light dark chocolate and leather on a woody, slightly sweet palate. Described as round, elegant and very drinkable, it finishes wood-forward without the casks overpowering the agricole core. A limited release of 1260 bottles from Saint James, well-regarded in 14 community reviews.

    #5766 28.09.2025 Day two of the Whisky Live 2025, which this year looks better organized/arranged inside. An exciting experiment in my mind and you can get a bit of the armagnac cask in the profile. Good ABV and wood integration with fruits and light chocolate and caramel.

    Goûté au rhumfest Paris 2025 . Ce rhum m a laissé une belle impression. Je l ai trouvé assez rond. Le passage en fût Porto et armagnac apporte de la gourmandise fruits sec , le boisé ne domine pas. Un peu de épices. Un bon tarif pour les amateurs d agricole assez gourmand.

    Portwein und Armagnac finish sind klar erkennbar aber nicht zu dominant. Schön würzig, schwer und elegant. Angenehme Süße und holzigkeit mit kandierter Birne. Sehr angenehm zu trinken! Sehr gelungenes Finish.

    Dégustation au Rhum Fest 2025 et Limoges Spirits Festival. 👃 Le boisé typique Martiniquais et Saint James, pas celui que je préfère. Vanille, épices, poivre léger. Fraîcheur lointaine de canne à sucre, Les fruits secs du double vieillissement, pruneau et petite cerise en arrière plan. Un côté clairement eau de vie de cerise avec du bois un peu humide. Léger empyreumatique de chocolat amer et de cuir. 😋 On prend les mêmes et on recommence. Boisé typique, épices, fruits secs. Un peu de fruits du verger encore verts. Cerise amère et son chocolat noir. Légères notes torréfiées, café et bois chauffé. La sensation en bouche est amère et un poil trop rêche, un peu boisé humide qu'on aurait chauffé ensuite à une source de chaleur sèche. ⛳ Essence de bois relativement noble, cerise amère, épices douces, canne à sucre cuite, chocolat et café. 💡 Nez un cran au-dessus de la bouche. Un bon représentant du genre Martiniquais à un très bon rapport qualité prix. Idéal pour faire découvrir les agricoles.
